AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text discusses the problem of impurities, such as water and moisture, entering power storage devices and reducing their performance. The repeated bending of power storage devices, especially those used in wearable electronic devices, can also cause damage and allow impurities to enter. The technical effects of this invention are to provide a repeatedly bendable power storage device that is highly reliable and has a long-life, as well as a flexible electronic device that can withstand bending and damage.

Problems solved by technology

Entry of impurities into a power storage device reduces the characteristics of the power storage device.
For example, impurities such as water entering a nonaqueous electrolytic solution reduces discharge capacity in some cases.
Poor airtightness of an exterior body of a power storage device, for example, might allow components in the air to go into the exterior body, which might result in entry of impurities into the power storage device.
Power storage devices incorporated in electronic devices used while being worn on human bodies might be repeatedly bent at the moment of repeatedly attaching and detaching the electronic devices.
The repeated bending of the power storage devices causes deterioration of their exterior bodies, possibly allowing entry of impurities such as moisture into the exterior body.

embodiment 1

[0081]In this embodiment, power storage devices of embodiments of the present invention and exterior bodies of the power storage devices are described.

[0082]Examples of the power storage device include secondary batteries utilizing electrochemical reaction (e.g., lithium-ion batteries), electrochemical capacitors (e.g., electric double layer capacitors and redox capacitors), air cells, and fuel cells.

[0083]It is preferable that a power storage device of one embodiment of the present invention can be repeatedly charged and discharged.

[0084]In charging and discharging of a power storage device, an electrolytic solution might be decomposed at the reaction potential of an electrode. Decomposition reactions of an electrolytic solution are irreversible in many cases and thus sometimes reduce the charge and discharge efficiency of the power storage device. When the charge and discharge efficiency is reduced, the power storage device suffers reduction in discharge capacity.

The positive electrode of one embodiment of the present invention may include a binder. The positive electrode of one embodiment of the present invention may include a conductive additive.

[0297]The negative electrode of one embodiment of the present invention preferably includes a negative electrode active material. The negative electrode of one embodiment of the present invention may include a binder. The negative electrode of one embodiment of the present invention may include a conductive additive.

[0298]As a negative electrode active material, for example, a carbon-based material, an alloy-based material, or the like can be used.

[0299]As the carbon-based material, graphite, graphitizing carbon (soft ...
